more stories, before I forget
Jun. 13th, 2010 02:48 amI was telling ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
cyanwitch about this in an email, so I figured I might as well share it with everyone.
Last weekend, we had a couple of family friends drop by our place, which led to hearing a Very Interesting Story about this woman who apparently raised a squirrel that fell into her house through the ceiling, and then raised it to listen by keeping it on heated pads for over three months. (This squirrel, by the way, also had to be fed every two hours during those three months. And she fed it only on cashew nuts, because it wouldn't eat anything else. And this squirrel ate from her plate at every meal. Dot dot dot.)
Anyway, the squirrel also made a nest in their house inside the piano, so every so often, she would hear tiny plonk sounds from the keys because the squirrel was chewing through the insides of it. After the squirrel was done with the piano, it moved on to the armchair of this woman's couch and proceeded to devour that as well. Apparently, everyone was fine with this.
LONG STORY SHORT: SQUIRRELS ARE SUPPOSED TO LIVE FOR ONLY TWO TO THREE YEARS, BUT THIS ONE LIVED FOR OVER EIGHT YEARS. IT WAS A TOTAL MUTANT. THE END.
Sometimes, I really would like to ask the universe how something like this could possibly happen. But I also have a nagging feeling that I wouldn't like the answer. XD
